You can use LIKE:

.... WHERE col LIKE '%London%'

but this type of search is costly.

If you need to do this type of search then I suggest you separate the
address with a different column for each element: building, street, city,
state/region, postal code, country, etc. This is much easier and more
efficient to search.
